Memorial Day continues to be an occasion that warrants flowers, although anecdotally sales have declined for some while remaining robust for others.Many florists and greenhouse keepers in the Waterville area admit that overall Memorial Day sales aren’t what they used to be, but May remains a busy month for them, as Mother’s Day and the onset of spring keep customers coming through the doors. Others in the area still see Memorial Day as a major factor in their sales. Harlan Benner, a representative of Sunset Flowerland and Greenhouses in Fairfield, said Memorial Day remains the business’s second-biggest holiday after Mother’s Day. He said that’s generally because May is a busy month for them, beginning May 1 and into the first week of June, as people buy flowers and plants. “It’s a 30-day thing,” he said. A salesperson at Sunset who declined to give her name said that while the company remains busy for Memorial Day, it’s not always cemetery arrangements people are buying. She said many people are buying plants for their gardens, and sales of arrangements for cemeteries have gone down.“I think it’s just been a lost tradition,” she said. Benner said it’s hard to gauge when a customer might be buying an arrangement for a cemetery or for a personal garden, but he thinks many... http://www.centralmaine.com/2017/05/26/florists-in-waterville-fairfield-and-oakland-experience-busy-may/

Everybody calls at the last minute.”Scott O’Brien, owner of Augusta Florist, said he stayed at a hotel in the capital city Sunday rather than be forced to drive from his home in Waterville to his shop on Mount Vernon Avenue in a blizzard Monday morning. He picked up a few of his designers on his way to the store from the hotel and was busy filling orders since early Monday morning.He said they weren’t doing any deliveries Monday because of the storm, but will have extra drivers contracted to help make all the deliveries by the end of the day Tuesday.“Today is normally a big delivery day, and the phones are starting to ring here now,” O’Brien said. “I’m sure it’ll be a madhouse here tomorrow with people parked all along the avenue.”But he said that even with his fresh stock, he expects to lose thousands of dollars in business because of the storm.He much prefers Mother’s Day.“It’s on a Sunday in May, so you have a few days before to make sure it gets to mom by then,” O’Brien said. “If you’re a florist in Miami, you’re not as stressed today.”He also likes it when Valentine’s Day falls on a weekday because the Legislature is usually in session and staffers fill the state office buildings.“Once the state offices close, we’re in trouble because so many of our deliveries go to the state,” O’Brien said.Minott’s Flowers in Portland had employees working in shifts Monday, and store manager Ashley Dyer said there was a lot of telephone business.But many of the shop’s orders go to businesses or offices that were closed Monday, so drivers are going to be doing a lot of backtracking Tuesday to get everything delivered, she said.“We gave a courtesy call to all our customers who were scheduled for Monday delivery telling them we would try,” Dyer said. “We’ve been able to get a lot of runs done, but since none of the businesses are open, a lot of them are being held until tomorrow.”In Waterville, Dave Lagrange said that despite the heavy snowfall Monday morning, a customer came into KMD Florist & Gift House looking for a special Valentine’s Day order.Lagrange had planned to make about 10 deliveries Monday, with the remaining orders set for Tuesday.“We’d normally have triple our regular crew, but most of them can’t get in today,” he said. “We’re going to see how much we can pack into one day that is usually spread over two days.”All of the florists admitted that if it weren’t the day before Valentine’s Day, they probably wouldn’t have opened... http://www.pressherald.com/2017/02/13/maine-florists-expect-a-blizzard-of-valentines-day-activity-after-mondays-snow-delay/

This affordable delivery service will bring local flowers straight to your doorstep in Vancouver - Vancouver Is Awesome

Their flowers are seasonal, local and absolutely GORGEOUS. Best of all, their unique business model cuts down and minimizes the waste often associated with florists and traditional flower delivery services. Here’s how it works.The local company operates on a “subscription service with a twist” model, which enables customers to purchase fresh flowers weekly, for just $30 per delivery. Customers can set their own delivery schedule (via their web app) for up to 5 weeks, but are never locked in or obligated to a long term subscription or minimum order. If you just need flowers for a one-off special occasion, that’s no problem. You can also add multiple addresses to your account so you can send boxes to friends, family and clients too. Photo: Bear’s BloomsWith this model, Bear’s Blooms’ founders are able to work directly with B.C. farmers and order only what they need, ensuring there’s as little waste as possible throughout the delivery process. In fact, 95% of Bear’s Blooms flowers come from local B.C. farmers, even in the winter!You might not think of the flower industry as being wasteful, but traditional florists throw away up to 40% of their plants, often because their flowers sit for weeks in warehouses and distribution centres. That’s not the case with Bear’s Blooms; their flowers literally go straight from the farm to your doorstep, helping them stay fresh longer. Also, their delivery boxes can be recycled or returned and reused by Bear’s Blooms, further cutting down on the wasteful p... https://www.vancouverisawesome.com/2019/09/10/bears-blooms-flower-delivery-vancouver/

Her unique varieties have caught the eye of many, including Colorado brides.“They want a wildflower look for their wedding,” Schley said. “They don't want a traditional bouquet from a florist. They want something that's more wild. And so they're coming to me buying buckets of blooms that I arrange in a color palette for them. I give them the bucket, and they do all the arranging.”And, they're available for your home, too. You can purchase a membership called a CSA, or Community Supported Agriculture. You pay a small fee up front to take advantage of the flowers throughout the season."So, they take a risk with me and trust that I’m going to grow these flowers,” Schley said. “And then, during the peak of the season, they come to the farm and pick up a large market bouquet.”There are tulips, daffodils and sweet peas in the early season. Lavender, sunflowers, and dahlias come in the late season, just to name a few.“This is Chinese Forget-Me-Nots, which just make any bouquet just pop,” she said, pointing to the flowers.But, it's a personal touch she’s harvesting year-round.“Now is the time — August, September, all the way until it frosts in October,” she said. “That's when you should be taking advantage of all the bounty, the color, that we have coming from our fields.”Schley and her husband also have a reality TV show on PBS and Create TV called "Urban Conversion" that follows their journey of city farming. It's in its third season. https://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/local-news/arvada-flower-farmer-embraces-colorful-colorado-in-business

Wild Honey Flower Truck is a florist that can put the pedal to the metal. Or is that petal? Or maybe even peddle?Actually, all three apply.The baby blue 1963 Ford pickup truck is a pop-up florist able to travel to farmers markets, street festivals and any number of corporate events and public gatherings.It’s an idea that bloomed when Kelsey Sizemore and her husband, Josh, saw similar flower operations outside of Alabama.“We had seen a couple of similar businesses in other cities and we thought it was something that Birmingham would really love,” Kelsey Sizemore said.If you’re going to have a flower truck, it has to start with the truck.“We started by looking at trucks on Craigslist and eBay,” Sizemore said. “We decided on the kind of truck that we liked.”[embedded content]Wild Honey Flower Truck is blooming in Birmingham from Alabama NewsCenter on Vimeo.When they found a potential truck in Ohio, Sizemore sent her father-in-law to check it out. When it earned a thumbs-up, they had the truck towed to Birmingham.“We ... https://alabamanewscenter.com/2019/06/28/wild-honey-flower-truck-is-birminghams-florist-on-wheels/
